Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, December 1 (Reporter Wu Gang) According to TASS News Agency’s report on the 1st, the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Turkish Ministry of Defense have signed an agreement on the establishment of a ceasefire joint monitoring center in the Nagorno-Karabakh (Naka) region.
According to the report, Russia and Turkey have completed consultations on the operating principles and relevant technical details of the joint monitoring center.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, war broke out in Azerbaijan and Armenia over the ownership of the Naka region.
In 1994, the two sides reached an agreement on a comprehensive ceasefire, but the two countries have been in a state of hostility due to the Naka issue, and armed conflicts have occurred from time to time.
On September 27 this year, Azerbaijan and Armenia broke out in a new round of conflict in the Naka region.
On November 9, the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a statement announcing a complete ceasefire in the Naka region from 0:00 Moscow time (5:00 Beijing time) on the 10th.
According to the statement, Azerbaijan and Armenia will exchange prisoners of war, other detainees and the remains of victims, and Russia will deploy peacekeepers in the Naka region.
Currently, Russia has completed the deployment of peacekeepers in the Naka region and has begun to perform peacekeeping tasks.
